Horner says Max could have got 3rd. One of the commentators said Max wasnt on a PB to that point. Other commentators suggested he could have got 3rd. 

 

 

His Q2 time was faster than his Q3 I think, his first Q3 was probably used tires banker

 

Yellows from Gasly's spin prevented Piastri's and Max's last laps.

 

Good job Liam!

 

Yeah, it seemed possible that Verstappen and Antonelli would set a quicker time to bump Lawson down from P6 but for the Gasly yellow. However, that's racing. Lawson looked likely for points in Barcelona but for the late safety car there. He's been due for something to go his way for a change, not to mention his strong driving this weekend has allowed him to capitalise on the misfortune of others. Lawson has 100% deserved his P6 result.

Expect he will have to yield to Verstappen off the line unless the Dutchman has suddenly grown disenchanted with the state of things at Red Bull. No chance of that I suppose but what a story it would be if he rode shotgun for Liam and held up the guys behind him to allow the Kiwi to consolidate in the top six.

Check out Desiderio's radio congratulations to Lawson at the end, he was really stoked for the result, perhaps even more than Liam it sounded. Really hope the strategy team bring their A-game tonight and don't butcher what has the potential to be a great result. Some more McLaren or Ferrari shenanigans up front and Liam could have a Hulk-type result.
